Our aim was to analyse the effect of precipitation with help seeking in patients suffering from suicidal behaviour OBJECTIVES: Our aim was to analyse the effect of precipitation with help seeking in patients suffering from suicidal behaviour METHODS: Daily urgency visits from suicidal phenomena (including suicide attempt and ideation) were extracted from electronic medical records of Hospital Universitario La Paz from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019. Precipitation data (measured as accumulated litres per square meter) was obtained from a local climate station. Spearman correlation was estimated RESULTS: The Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.04(p = 0.48) CONCLUSIONS: Precipitation did not influence help seeking for patients affected by suicidal phenomena DISCLOSURE: No significant relationships.
